I became acquainted with this flour back in January when I was challenged to make a Joconde wrap for the Daring Bakers’ Challenge. It has been sitting in my fridge until this weekend when I was inspired by this post.

This recipe instantly reminded me of Lara Bars which started right here in Denver.

I’m not into the whole cleansing thing but I will say after stuffing my face all winter I could use a refreshing change in my diet. These little babies jumpstarted me into eating better in the hopes of feeling a little less squishy!

Oh, how I need to do my Jillian workouts!

Here is my version of these wonderful bite-size treats.

Almond Bites

1 c. almond meal/flour (available for an amazing price in the refrigerated bulk section at Vitamin Cottage, the best store on the planet. Shhh, don’t tell my boyfriend, he works at Whole Foods – the second best store on the planet).

I’m so glad to hear that you were inspired by my cashew lemon drops! Cleansing [to me] is just about eating better, so it sounds like you’re well on your way! Those Almond Honey Clouds look amazing, and soooo simple! I’ll have to give it a try. I wonder if I could roll them in coconut instead of sugar? mmm!
